Out-of-hours FAQs

With us, you can trade extended hours on shares, and out-of-hours on indices and forex.
Out-of-hours trading refers to any trading that occurs outside of regular underlying market hours.

We make our own prices for indices out of hours and at weekends, plus for weekend forex markets.

We do this based on underlying futures with our own markets being priced outside of this. Underlying market conditions usually take into account volatility, client activity and news flow.

Our extended hours on shares are based on those from NYSE and NASDAQ.
